Borders

Borders are the boundaries separating the Clan's territories, and can either be natural geological structures (such as rivers) or man-made ones (such as roads). Essentially, the Clans are split in half by the river that winds down from the mountain. Borders are normally checked and scent-marked daily by patrols. Crossing the border into another Clan's territory without their knowledge or permission is considered breaking the Omicron Code, as trespassing can be seen as spying or stealing prey.

By the Mountain

 * The Clan of Earth shares a border with the Clan of Water, and half of the river with the Clan of Fire.
 * The Clan of Fire shares a border with the Clan of Air, and half of the river with the Clan of Earth.
 * The Clan of Air shares a border with the Clan of Fire, and half of the river with the Clan of Water.
 * The Clan of Water shares a border with the Clan of Earth, and half of the river with the Clan of Air.
 * The Seeing Stone is located in the meeting point of all four territories, in the center on an island in the center of the river. A bridge has been built over it. The bridge is on Air Clan territory on one side, and on Water Clan territory on the other.

Protection
Borders are checked and marked twice daily by patrols, one at sunrise and one at sundown. Sometimes, more patrols are organized if there is danger.

Crossing the Border
Unless another cat has explicit permission to come onto another Clan's territory, crossing the border is seen as a threat or a challenge. Usually intruders are attacked or chased off, or sometimes brought before the resident Clan's leader to decide their fate. However, when on a specific mission or going to the gathering or Seeing Stone, cats are allowed within three yards of the border.
